 | | Many of the songs are personal and self-referencing; for example, "Dear Prudence" was written for actress Mia Farrow's sister, Prudence, who attended a Transcendental Meditation course in Rishikesh, India, at the same time as The Beatles and who experienced violent hallucinations while meditating. |
 | | She had to be kept in her room under guard for a period of time and, after the guard was removed, she was afraid to leave her room, thus the lyrics "Won't you come out to play...". |
 | | The only western instrument that was available to the group during their Indian visit was the acoustic guitar, and several of the songs (such as "Dear Prudence", "Julia", "Blackbird" and "Mother Nature's Son") were written and first performed on acoustic guitar during their stay. |
